Opel has mobile chargers for rallies: electric racing cars without extra stops

Opel is introducing a new mobile charging infrastructure for electric rally cars during the July Weiz Rally in Austria. This system allows electric vehicles to complete all speed tests without interruptions for battery charging, which was previously required. The technology uses remote charging via electric trucks equipped with eight mobile charging units, each with a 160 kWh battery capacity. These units provide up to 250 kW of power per vehicle, enabling simultaneous charging of multiple cars. The system includes additional buffer batteries and energy storage to ensure stability under high demand. The electric Opel Mokka GSE Rally will participate in all 11 speed tests and compete directly against gasoline-powered rally cars for the first time in history.
